Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a autoimmune disorder in which a decreased number of circulating platelets (thrombocytopenia) manifests as a bleeding tendency, easy bruising (purpura), or extravasation of blood from capillaries into skin and mucous membranes (petechiae). In persons with ITP, platelets are coated with autoantibodies to platelet membrane antigens, ...

This is an open-label Phase III extension study to evaluate the long-term safety of eltrombopag in pediatric patients with chronic ITP who previously participated in study TRA115450. This study will allow dosing of eltrombopag at an individualized dose for each subject based upon platelet count. The starting dose will be ...

Rarely children with immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) can present with severe or life-threatening bleeding. In these cases it is very important that the platelet count be raised as quickly as possible. Several studies have shown that IVIG and corticosteroids on their own can raise platelet counts, but few studies have ...

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of platelet autoantibodies, low platelet counts and an increased risk of bleeding. TPO receptor agonists which stimulate platelet production have been shown to be remarkably effective in ITP. Their use as a short-term means of elevating platelet counts ...

Current treatment guideline of ITP recommends corticosteroid as the first line treatment when patient has active bleeding or less than 3010^9/L of platelet, because of side effect and cost issues. Since the first case report by Italian study, several investigators have reported that secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) can occur in ...

This is a multi-center, international, randomized, two-phase study: First phase (induction phase) is open-label, hypothesis-generating, involving 1:1 randomization into: rituximab (group 1) or rituximab plus dexamethasone (group 2) to determine if the response to rituximab can be improved by the addition of dexamethasone. Second Phase (maintenance phase) is the main ...
